Reckless Sports.
.CDri00feId ReD1tbLic09l

at Rutland is sad beyond any cOnsOla-
ton. Here was mau full of intelli
gence and sound sense on most mat
tiers, who risked his life in way that
was fOolhardy. The patrons of other
chutes are doing the same thing, night
after night, and those who decline to
engage in "sport" that is fraught
with peril are sometimes arraigned for
IA want of courage. They cannot be
attacked for any lack of good sense.
The process of Americanizing the sports
of other peoples is carried out quite
too recklessly. There is lots of fun in
sliding down hill, when it can be done
with reasonable regard for safety.

Will Prevent Strikes.

Lieut.. Gov. Jones of New York and
the Binghamton scale manufacturer,
has adopted the plan, which is so fast
commenting itself to enlightened CAPT
talists, of profit sharing with his en-
ployes. He has posted notice that if
the year is a prosperous one, he shall
share profits with his employees, but if
there are losses, he will not ask them
to bear part. And not only all en-
ployes who stay through the year, but
call who through i'll health or lack of
work are laid off, will share in proper
ton to the wages earned.

to pay his respects to Kate Field at a

shortly reminded that the anti-Mor-

An Honest Opinion.

The president has done himself cred
it by vetOing the dependent pension
bill, and will earn more of the esteem
of self-respecting veterans than the
politicians, who advocated and voted
for it. The country can pardon a good
many minor errors in chief mag
istrate, who has the courage to per-
form such an act of duty against
clamOr, misrepresentation and mistak
en- sentiment.
